Hello,I've been at my my mom's since Jan. 19th, on a 'working' visit to mark diploma exams. We're on Day 9; two more to go! Long days...bleary eyes...and a grateful heart to have after-hours time to spend with mom and, of course, my cutie-patootie niece and nephew! On the other hand, I miss my husband and the crafting withdrawal? Oh myyyyy! Hope I remember 'how' to craft once I'm back home *grin*

I've had the My Favorite Things Our Story set for ever so long, but my colouring skills have held me back from using it. I just can't get skin tones and hair highlights/blending 'right' on the adorable little girl and boy. Fortunately, the current challenge at FUSION Card Challenge~Coffee and a Book, sparked an idea.

Rather than fretting over my issues with colouring the big images, I went with some smaller ones...the stack of books, the little coffe cup and the wee dresser. Purple, blue and green, with a pop of red and soft brown felt like 'cozy' colours...as did the knitted embossing folder...

Will be working on colouring the rest of the images once I'm back home...practice, practice, practice!

The embossing folder is to die Formay I ask which company Miss Cits so adorable in brown cardstock wooohoooand the coloring the books so adorable toothe desk drawer toolove what you show hereadorable card Miss Csee you aroundhugsMonika

Wowzers!! That's a perfect card for this photo and sketch! It's all warm and cozy, and a very good idea for a cold winter's day. Your coloring is good, and while people are hard to color, I know you'll do just fine; I have every confidence in you! You'll notice I rarely color people....lol!! What a great card! Love it, dear friend. Bev

I just want to snuggle up to your background, it looks so cosy! And i love the stack of books on the dresser which you coloured so well! That sentiment is perfect too. can't wait to see your coloured figures, I'm sure they'll be just as beautifully coloured! Sorry i haven't been visiting your gorgeous creations, but now that our house move is done, I have more time to visit my talented teammies! Hugs, Gwendolyn

Glad you are enjoying your visit with your mother, niece and nephew Carol, even if it is a working visit. I adore your card, just to cute!!! I know you can color the kids-let us let you know how it turned out because I'm thinking you are being to hard on yourself. Although I understand it as I do the same thing. Big hugs, Brenda

What? Why have your coloring skills held you back? They are perfect! Love that knit embossing folder, it gives the card such a cozy look! Read - Relax -Repeat, now this is my kind of weekend or vacation activity!

I don't think anyone anywhere could come up with a better take on this photo, c, whether on the DT or in the gallery! It is brilliant! Period!! Glad you are home safe with hubby, but now I'm sure you will have withdrawals from your Mom and the sweet little rascals! I think they all need to move to your town!! Hugs, Darnell

I love this embossing folder. The cozy feel of it matches perfectly the image. Reminds of a lazy day snuggled in a cozy blanked and reading a book. Thank you for joining the Stempelküche-Challenge.Jennifer^^
